Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/super: fix emergency thaw double-unlock of s_umount
do_thaw_all() iterates over all superblocks via __iterate_supers()
with SUPER_ITER_EXCL, which acquires s_umount exclusively before
calling the callback and releases it afterwards. However, the
callback do_thaw_all_callback() calls thaw_super_locked() which
unconditionally releases s_umount on every code path. This results
in a second unlock attempt in __iterate_supers() that corrupts the
rwsem state, triggering a DEBUG_RWSEMS warning:

[ 182.618412] Emergency Thaw complete
Fix this by switching to SUPER_ITER_UNLOCKED and acquiring s_umount
in the callback via super_lock_excl() before calling
thaw_super_locked(). This matches the locking pattern expected by
thaw_super_locked() and eliminates the double unlock.
While at it, remove the dead 'return;' at the end of
do_thaw_all_callback().
